Regular Hinoki Wood Candle // £4.95
Large Hinoki Wood Candle // £7.95
Have you ever come across a candle so perfect that you never need to buy another one in a different scent ever again? Literally, never again.
As described on the Muji website:
"Hinoki is considered a sacred wood in Japan and has been used for many centuries. The aroma is fresh like that of the moss and trees; with fresh lemon-like notes”.
The first time I bought a Muji Hinoki Wood Tin Candle was at Christmas last year when I was shopping in London. Ending up at the Covent Garden branch (not where you want to be in December but Emily wanted to buy some gloves) I noticed they had a deal on candles so I bought two, Sea Salt and Hinoki Wood, after working my way along the stack of other wax-based scents that didn’t make the cut.
(The Sea Salt candle I burned through but never stuck with as it sort of smelt like the ocean and sort of smelt like an aftershave belonging to a guy who’s going to break your heart after 'dating' you on and off for a year without ever actually calling you his girlfriend).
Purchase number two was made in-store on Carnaby Street either before or after getting a slice of pizza from Whole Foods in Piccadilly Circus for dinner. I then sat through Uncut Gems at the cinema with the candle poking out my tiny bag because it didn’t fit properly.
The third and most recent Hinoki Wood addition was a gift for my 25th Birthday way back in March. (People know me well).
Now that candle is all burned through but it's at to the point where there is still wax but the wick won’t light anymore. I placed an order today for not one, but two LARGE Hinoki Wood candles from Muji. I didn’t even know that the candles were available in two different sizes so that’s an added bonus. Week = made.
UPDATE:
This post has been sitting in my drafts for a while but just wanted to add that I have the candles and my room smells heavenly.
